The continuous research of traditional sizes, components and patterns used in the last two centuries, led Topcer to develop the collections Victorian Designs and Borders and Contemporaneous Series , which offer traditional and modern innovative designs, back mesh mounted in modular sheets. These made possible in some markets to develop specific niches for their use in Palaces, Museums, Hotels, Restaurants and Pubs, Cruise Ships, private
homes, restoration of old floors, etc.
TopCer tiles, due to their high breaking strengh, resistance to wear frost and non-slipping properties, are mostly used in all type of highly demanding areas.
